If a role simulation is not listed on the website as available in your preferred language, you may contact the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center to inquire whether a translation is pending. In some cases, a role simulation is in the process of being translated and/or formatted for distribution and is not yet listed on the website. If a translation is not pending and you are interested in translating a simulation yourself, please contact the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center at tnrc@law.harvard.edu with a request for a translation license.
